Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.

To give a character life in a short space of time, it helps if you arrive on screen with a past.

The cliche is that life is a mountain. You go up, reach the top and then go down.

Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I'm finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden.

I need, absolutely, to be alone.

I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.

You're responsible for yourself as an actress, you know that your personal growth goes through that alchemy, and you give as much importance to your life as you do to your acting.
